WinCustomize Personal Pages Up...

Monday, September 20, 2004 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News

If you have an active WinCustomize Premium Subscription (click the store link at the top if you don't) you can now create your own personal page.

Your personal page becomes a sub-domain of WinCustomize.com (i.e. frogboy.wincustomize.com). Only premium subscribers can see it now.

Your personal page lets you write blogs, view your gallery, make recommendations, see stats on everything from how many downloads your skins have gotten to your actual ranking overall in all kinds of areas. Plus there are awards for being a leader.

This is a beta, and it's the first phase of our WinCustomize 2K5 roll-out. We'll be making tweaks and fixes over the next week. Have fun!

I guess someone is going to have to break down and buy me a subscription, I wanna see what all the fuss is about.

Anyways, Frogboy, will there be anything WinCusto v5 that will be inaccessible to Level 3 users or below, but accessible by WinCusto subscribers? Or, are these current restrictions only limited to beta testing purposes? Additionally, I checked out the beta site, logged in, but since I don't subscribe (to wincustomize.com that is, despite being a journeyman and owner of odnt), I was unable to get past the 'please subscribe to see more' message.

My comment is, currently, the 'new' statistical userpage features look a little clumsy, how well do you think they'll integrate into the layout of the site? Or, is everything getting a make-over? Also, these blogging features you speak of, that will be from within our subdomain userpages (deviantART-esque), or linked with our JoeUser accounts?

Here's the complete list of sites so far. Yes. In the near future
there will be an index page that allows you to see a list of skinning
sites.

Well, that didn't turn out quite right but at least the list is there.

Currently we do not have the forms to edit your personal information on the new skinning sites. But you can still edit your personal information (including Date of Birth) on the old site. Just go to Edit Account and click on the link to Edit your Stardock.net Account (https://www.wincustomize.com/wc_sdnet_info.asp). Once you have updated DOB your age should show up correctly after a few minutes (After the cache has been updated).

By The Way.. to upload a personal image / icon / desktop image, click on your "My Account" link and go to the "Update Images" tab.

Wow, this is so cool. All my old skins are there. These are skins that I deleted during a bad rant I had about a year ago. They are no longer on the WC site but they are in my gallery? hmm. Do I need to cross reference them? On second thought maybe I don't want to cross reference them.

Actually, your old deleted skins shouldn't be showing. We will need to make some adjustments to the queries.

No, T-Man, its okay. I lost them myself. Let me download them before you delete them if you must.

yup, I got a bootskin listed in my library that was rejected by those evil Mods.

It has 15 downloads. Not bad for a rejection

Uploading picture problem. I get a notice that the upload was successful but both the icon and picture are broken (red x). I'm using jpg format.

Hey Garry,

Your images should be working now. If you see any place where they are still broken please let me know. Thanks.

In the next week or so it'll be expanded so that non-subscribers can see the home pages. Right now we're still making tweaks.
